At the risk of sparking disagreement, I think the problem lies with the B17 
saddle which, in my experience, generally doesn’t support a comfortable upright 
riding posture.  It flares up in back which seems designed to accommodate a 
forward-leaning torso, not one that’s sitting more nearly vertical.  It’s why 
so many of us have had to raise the noses of our B17s: to compensate for the 
fact that the back of the saddle slopes upward just at the point where the 
width of the saddle matches our sit bones.  It’s also, I think, why so many of 
us complain of constantly sliding forward on our Brooks seats.
I solved this problem by gradually dumping all my Brooks saddles and replacing 
them with Rivet Imogenes, which are flat, relatively wide, extremely well made, 
and beautiful, to boot.
